White River Marsh State Wildlife Area
12,000 acres of lowland forest, oak
savanna, grasslands and sedge meadow
await you at this large property. The
White and Fox Rivers flow through the
landscape providing ample water to
keep the marshes and lowlands hydrated.
Two canoe
launch sites access
the Fox River where
you’ll find herons,
bitterns and other
wading birds. Wild
Turkeys hunt for
insects and nuts in
the oak savanna
while Bobolinks,
Savannah Sparrows and Sedge Wrens
are found in the grasslands and sedge
meadows. Watch for Bald Eagles,
Broad-winged Hawks and Turkey
Vultures as they hunt over the meadows.
Badgers, woodchucks, red fox and
coyotes are common here.
